Congrats to Elie Mystal, the new editor at Above the Law

Ever since I started using Google Reader in the last few weeks, I have been (more) efficiently limiting my exposure to the blogosphere, yes, certain threads here notwithstanding. In any event, one of the sites I normally peruse is AbovetheLaw, which has until now been edited by my friend from college, Dave Lat.  As many of you know, Dave has since been promoted and has ingeniously been running a Criminal Law Conversations/American Idol-type contest to pick his successor.  Among the judges were Dahlia Lithwick from Slate, Tom Goldstein of Scotusblog fame, and the inimitable Ann Althouse, to whom we owe thanks for putting the raw in prawf.

I haven't been keeping up with the daily ins and outs of the contest, but I'm very excited to see that the winner has been selected and he seems like a great addition to ATL. Congrats Elie Mystal!
